A red sun over Montreal. Crops withering in the field. Thousands of people fleeing a territorial capital. Smoke blanketing cities from Toronto to Ottawa to New York.
These are not scenes out of a dystopian novel but pulled straight from Canada’s summer of fire and smoke, now cresting in the frightening evacuations of Yellowknife and Kelowna.
😭😱 this is so awful. I had great memories of the Shuswap Lake cottage community (not really, but that's beside the point). This is nuts 😡😒#BCWildfire#ClimateCrisispic.twitter.com/AfL9udUYfu
